Gonna give this a try!….I have two 4TB USB hard drives that I use with Ubuntu's Backup Tool…and I make a backup of everything..and then?..I BACKUP…the BACKUP!…(Hey…you can never be too careful…right!?) But this looks like it runs faster and smoother!…will definitely use anything that makes my backups go faster!! (Ubuntu's backup tool?…takes FOREVER!..)

joe i love your videos, thankyou. i still have a preference for the way xbt 3.0 is used in the terminal though ……. i know many will disagree with me and thats fine, but xbt works for me ……… thanks again

Mr. Collins…appreciate your work and dedication to what you do for the benefit of others … thank you,, also appears that I'm becoming a geek..lol.. i liked reading the program layout and it made sense to me.. guess its all starting to click in..cheers

ATTENTION: I accidentally copied an extra 'fi' when I was showing how to make sure the system finds your local bin directory. Just be sure to only copy from the # commented line down and make sure you got both 'if' and the trailing "fi" in there… Thanks.

Just a question || comment:Isn’t .bashrc gonna trip over the extra fi that you pasted along with (above) the “find the bin directory and include to the Path” part. I mean, other languages that I do know well would surely trip, but I’m not certain if bash would. (to busy doing all kinda stuff to try it out haha).

Just to be clear, backups FAIL just as daily drivers. Yes it's good to keep them separate and continually up to date. But ALL electronics DIE, … of every kind and sort. NONE of them are built with dependency or longevity. As well, the methods [hardware and software] are constantly re-imagined. [On purpose, to keep the market in demand.] Pick as many multiples of data as you wish to stack the odds, but in the long run … it's gone. NONE of my Windows data from yesteryear remains, nor Mac, or early Linux. Nothing pre-millennium exists, save some VHS tapes… Read more »
